There are still spots open in this fun match. Even if you are not entered at the Nat'l Obedience Championship, this is a great opportunity to see what it's like to move through 8 rings with a mix of Open and Utility exercises like the NOC exhibitors will. Something different and super fun for you and your dog! Click the link to access the entry form.
